Robots are already capable of making coffee, serving food, and working at restaurants. The Robofusion Robotic Ice Cream Kiosk can deliver treats to your customers and save you money in the process. It has a user-friendly interface and accepts cash and credit card. The robot can make 45 ice creams per hour.
There is no better way to learn electronics than building and programming your own robots. HappyThingsMaker has shared a guide that shows you how to build a robotic drum player with Arduino. You are going to need an Arduino Nano, HC-05 expansion module, MG90S servo motors, and a few other simple parts to get started.
Here is another exciting project involving KUKA robots. The RoboCoaster is a robotic roller coaster using a KUKA KR 500. It is a heavy duty robot with a high payload and reach which makes it ideal for a variety of applications. This ride has 5 different settings.
Meet the LattePanda Alpha: a tiny hackable computer with everything you need to take your DIY projects to the next level. It has a 7th generation Intel Core m3 processor, 8 GB RAM, WiFi, Bluetooth, Intel HD Graphics 615, and Arduino support. The computer has 64 GB eMMC V5.0 built-in. It also supports external storage.
In the past few years, we have covered plenty of cool projects that involve KUKA robots. They are now being used at Studio Babelsberg in Potsdam, Germany to mill foam sculptures. These robots are capable of milling complex shapes with accuracy. They simply turn 3D models made on the computer into sculptures.
Here is another security robot that can autonomously patrol your property and provide real-time data on intruders, motion, smoke, gas, and other events. The Ramsee robot offers mobile video surveillance. It never gets tired and uses its cameras and sensors to identify problematic situations.
Everybody who has done drone and robot programming has experimented with LiDAR systems in the past. The YellowScan’s Surveyor Ultra LiDAR can cover up to 100 meters. With 600,000 shots per second, drones can take on long-range flights in challenging weather or environmental conditions.
Here is another set of modular building blocks that allows your kids to build and program their own robots. Easycube comes with cubes that measure 3.91 cu.in. You get various modules to build walking and other types of robots. According to the makers, you can use your LEGO blocks with these bots.
Here is a robotic scanner that helps you speed up product development. The FARO Design ScanArm can capture complex product shapes. It has a blue laser probe with fast frame rate of 600,000 points per second. You can get the arm in 2.5m to 4.0m length.
